    Need help with Wiring on my cucv ?

    If you look at the harness where it goes to the fire wall, you'll see it breaks down into 3 sections, one for the taillights, one for the front light and the third for the engine. Just leave them all in place, the only 24v on the truck is the starter/relay and slave receptacle and the voltmeter...

    My first 6.2 swap thread

    Answer for both is yes, order #2 and #25 from Hillbilly but before hooking them up get a spray can of auto transmission cooler flush and flush the oil cooler in the Rad and Hillbilly's lines. The last thing you want on a new engine is finding old contaminates in the cooler! All the alternator...

    Bus Bars Configuration Help PLEASE

    If you look closely you can see the bolts on the back of the mounting bar have nuts counter sunk in the plastic portion of the mount. I'd say yes, you can change it out but why? I'd just use the old bar itself in the new mount, it's not correct but if it works then who are we to judge? The PO...

    To answer the PSI question, approximately 7lbs so neoprene hose and clamp would do BUT steel is better!

    Here We Go Again Low Voltage M1009

    Older vehicles always require more Maintenace and repair and if can't or won't do the only other alternative is pay someone else to do it (as you well know). Think about all the cash you could save by learning even just basic stuff like trouble shooting the charging system and rebuilding the...

    Possible fuel issue

    LOL, so true but just try to find it when you need it! If you're like me, you'll give up looking and order another one and eventually find it when you need something else!

    Fuel system drawing a vacuum

    OK, next thing I'd be looking at is the fuel lines, in the OP you said you changed the tank. Perhaps you pinched a line between the tank and frame?

    Fuel system drawing a vacuum

    Maybe it is a vacuum, have you tried loosening the filler cap and see if it will continue to run?

    M1008 Aftermarket Headers

    In a nut shell, Some folks call it 'porting and polishing'. You'd think that the intake and exhaust passages in the head would match up closely to the manifolds , right? Well next time you have an engine apart place a intake manifold gasket on the manifold and look at how it doesn't match the...

    My Rear Main Engine Seal Went Bad After Only A Year in My M1009 6.2L

    I don't see how the drive shafts could have effected the rear main, someone would've had to work REAL hard to do that! It's kinda like blaming your oil leak on the guy that recovered your seat cushion.

    Central FL M1031 project

    I'd use paint stripper, apply to one panel and then cover with plastic. While thats sitting place scrap sheets of cardboard under it to catch drips and spray/brush a second panel and cover then go back to the first and scrap the gunk off using a plastic body filler spreader. Keep one panel...

    Oil Leak, Passenger Side of Engine.

    I'm thinking along the lines of valve cover gasket or maybe even a small fuel leak from the filter and picking up dirt and undercoating on the way down.

    Should I keep the 24v system?

    Just leave it as is, the alternators are only 12 volts each as are the batteries and everything except the glow plugs so why bother?

    Try the left hand bit! 9 times out of 10 it will grab it and unscrew it/

    Cranking issue, '86 M1008, previously 12V converted

    If it is broken, try using a sharp pointed center punch and hammer and tap it out or get a left-hand drill bit and they usually unscrew themselves.
